Hi everyone,
Back in November 2021, I designed and created a few reports for my client in Power BI Desktop by exporting an Azure Log Analytics M query (as shown below) and then copied and pasted it in Power Query Editor using Get Data > Blank Query > Advanced Editor.
I noticed that the dates only go as as far back as 3/10/2022 but begin on todays date 6/8/2022.
Does anyone know why my Nov-Feb records would not be pulled in with this M query? Am I missing something on the limitations when exporting M from Log Analytics?
Thanks so much in advance!
Best,
JP
Solved! Go to Solution.
What is your log retention policy? It may be records before Feb have been purged. Configure data retention and archive in Azure Monitor Logs (Preview) - Azure Monitor | Microsoft Doc...
